How to do what they did on this site.....
I really like the article hack, using it on site www.geekforums.com
However, I really like what they are doing with the system on www.techenclave.com and was wondering if anyone knew how they did it. 1) How on hell did they manage to allow HTML in the original post but not in any of the replies, i would love to be able to do this. 2) Have multiple featured articles displayed under the main article. |

For second you just need to create a featured articles module and place it anywhere you want in showthread. You can edit module settings for how many featured articles you want to be shown.
For the first one this is done with settings.

This confuses me, 2) I thought i had already tried that but nothing seemed to change in the layout. GARS -> Types -> Article Type Term Set = Article Set Template Set = Default Modules = Deafult Module Set GARS -> Modules -> Default Module Set -> Showthread Featured Article is below threadlist TOC is to the right of threadlist Attachements is to the right of threadlist Tools is to the right of threadlist GARS -> Modules -> default module set -> forumdisplay Featured article is below threadlist all others turned off GARS -> Modules -> default module set -> forumdisplay or showthread -> featured article maximum number of threads = 3 which direction = horizontal Now having said all that, refreshing cache and rebuilding tables, it doesn't seem to be having much luck affecting the website. Landing page - www.geekforums.com News page - http://www.geekforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25 Notice how there are modules being displayed that i have not selected and that there are 5 featured articles being displayed to the left and vertically. Inside an Article - http://www.geekforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208 Again only one featured article and it is not below the main article. I am utterly confused by this, and the development of the site has completely frozen while i work out how to do this. 2) With all due respect i am not sure it can be, i would love to be wrong, can anyone show me how, i have already spent many hours looking through the settings before i posted this message but i had no luck finding anything. I have spent a lot of time trying to fix this myself but to no avail, any help would be glady received. |

However things are a little strange. 1) In Forum it now displays some "tools" but not all of them. To the right of content. When i swear it is not there in the options. http://www.geekforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25 2) Is there anyway to place the "feature articles" below the content rather than at the end of the post. This is mine: http://www.geekforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208 I was hoping it would look like this: http://www.techenclave.com/forums/pr...nes-75615.html 3) Is there anyway to make the forum display just look like the regular forum, but when you go into the thread you see it displayed like a normal Geek Article. 4) Any news on my question about being able to post HTML in the article but not allow it in any responses. Sorry for all the questions, i have been trying at this for ages, thanks for the great support and great product, looking foward to fixing this so i can push on with GAB . |
